Episode 130 - Gamescom Opening Night Live 2024

In this episode...
--> We're discussing all the biggest trailers and announcements from Gamescom Opening Night Live, including Borderlands 4, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, Sid Meier’s Civilization 7, and more.
--> A new censorship controversy has embroiled Black Myth Wukong just ahead of its release, sparked by a guidelines doc that prohibits streamers from mentioning an absurd list of topics, such a "feminist propaganda" and COVID-19.
--> Jackbox's Naughty Pack will be released on September 12 with a retail price of $21.69 (we assume the 69 is intentional).
--> Skydance is producing the live-action Eternal Champions movie, adapted from the 1993 game originally published by Sega for the Genesis. Yes, you read that right... an Eternal Champions movie.
--> Also: Top 3 New Releases, Gaming History 101!
